Dear Cat:

I think the message you sent him is fine. If he does reply, see to it that in communications with him that you do “not so much focused on the spiritual stuff”, just like you wrote to him that you intend to. Like I wrote to you above, keep it simple, ask him little questions, listen to his answers. Learn about him, who he is. It is a gradual process. That in itself would be a new experience for you, part of the non-repeat opportunity: take it slow.
